Deadly Penny
Envious Ecstasy: Decoding The Keepers' 'Deadly Penny' Tale
Lyrics
When I think about
Reflecting on past memories
We first met
Recalling the initial meeting
It seems light years away
Feeling a significant temporal distance
You've got different tastes
Noticing differences in preferences
All that pleasure and pain
Experiencing a mix of pleasure and pain
The money game
Referencing involvement in financial dynamics
Oh the shame
Expressing shame in the context of money
It's all the same
Highlighting the similarity in experiences
Oh the envy
Feeling envy towards a third party
Takes over me
Describing the overpowering nature of envy
I knew you were friendly
Acknowledging the friendly relationship
With Deadly Penny
Introducing the character "Deadly Penny"
Oh these feelings
Expressing emotional turmoil
I'm blue and green
Feeling both sad (blue) and envious (green)
You're leaving me
Addressing the end of the relationship
For the leather bound queen
Referring to someone else as the "leather bound queen"
I'm thinking about
Contemplating how to bid farewell
How to say goodbye
Preparing for separation
Another girl
Mentioning another girl in the picture
And she's your world
Indicating her significance in the person's life
No room for me
Feeling excluded from the fantasy
In this fantasy
Describing a state of ecstasy and mental distress
Ecstasy
Emphasizing intense emotions
And bad mentally
Referring to negative mental effects
Oh the envy
Reiterating the theme of envy
Takes over me
Reaffirming the overwhelming nature of envy
I knew you were friendly
Recalling the friendly connection with Deadly Penny
With Deadly Penny
Repeating the association with Deadly Penny
Oh these feelings
Reiterating the emotional struggle
I'm blue and green
Expressing sadness and envy persistently
You're leaving me
Reiterating the impending departure
For the leather bound queen
Referring to the other person as the "leather bound queen"
Oh the envy
Re-emphasizing the theme of envy
Takes over me
Reaffirming the overpowering nature of envy
I knew you were friendly
Confirming the friendship with Deadly Penny
With Deadly Penny
Reiterating the association with Deadly Penny
Oh these feelings
Restating the emotional turmoil
I'm blue and green
Expressing persistent sadness and envy
You're leaving me
Reiterating the impending departure
For the leather bound queen
Referring to the other person as the "leather bound queen"
(Woo hoo...)
Concluding with a vocal expression (Woo hoo...)
